towns people.
The hours seemed to drag by every time Rafe walked
back into the kitchen he glanced at the clock the hours
seemed to take days to pass. He was beside himself with
fear, frustration and panic. He needed to hold his mate in
his arms, love her with his body.
Gabe, Chase and Tony walked back into the dining
room.
We found it, Gabe said holding a piece of paper in
his hands. Brett bought a house situated about an hour
away from here. I'll bet that is where they have our baby.

It will be light in half an hour. They are probably
feeling secure since we haven't found them yet. Probably
still sleeping. Let's go get our mate, Lucien said with
murder in his eyes.
***
The Alphas and Omegas arrived at Brett's farm house
just after the sun had risen. Their trucks skidding to a halt
in front of the house. Rafe was the first out of the truck,
fury on his face. The front door didn't even slow him down.
He kicked it with such force the hinges came away from
the door jamb, splintering the wood. His body braced ready
to attack whoever came at him. Searching the house as he
raced through, the family room, kitchen, two bedrooms, the
bathroom. She wasn't here.
Where the fuck is she, Rafe screamed to his
brothers, She is not here.
We've found her, Damian yelled from out the back.
Lucien, Rafe and Gabe ran in the direction of
Damian's voice, to another smaller building out the back.
They entered the granny flat to find Luke ripping the
handcuffs apart with his bare hands. Tessa was sobbing
quietly as Luke released her. Her mates did not take any
notice of Stephanie's body as they surrounded her with their
arms and love. Being passed from one lap to another, they
were so happy to see her, it took them a while to notice she
was injured. Rafe held her in his lap moisture evident in his
eyes, Tessa baby I'm so sorry. I love you baby. Please
forgive me? I didn't protect you when I should have. I'm
sorry, he said again breathing in her scent.
Tessa looked up to Lucien and Gabe mouthing, Give
us a minute please.
Gabe and Lucien nodded turning, leaving the room.
Tessa took Rafe's face between her hands lifting her
head to his wet gaze met hers.
You have nothing to be sorry for Rafe. Please don't
blame yourself babe. I know you would have protected me

if you could have. Brett and Stephanie got a hold of some
of my clothing, disguising their scent from you with mine.
There was no way you could have smelled them. I love you
Rafe. Please do not feel guilty, don't blame yourself.
Rafe took a deep gasping breath, I know baby. I was
just so scared, they could have killed you.
Tess gave a groan as she clutched her lower abdomen
scaring Rafe.
What is it baby? What did they do to you? Oh my
god, we need to get you to a hospital, look at your arm, I
can smell the blood all over you. Where else are you hurt
baby?
Tess let out a husky laugh which turned to sobbing, I
need to use the bathroom. I haven't been since before you
took me for coffee. My bladder feels like it is going to
burst, but I can't walk, I've cut my ankle.
No sooner had Tessa finished her statement, Rafe
cradling her in his arms, stood, heading towards the little
bathroom. Depositing her on her good leg, bracing her
hands against the walls to keep her balance Rafe undid her
pants and slid them and her undies down her legs.
There you go sweetheart, he said as he eased her
down to the seat.
What happened to Brett? Did you find him? He
killed Stephanie, Tessa stated as she waited for Rafe to
reply.
Brett is dead sweetheart, the damage Stephanie did,
killed him. His esophagus was half ripped out.
Sighing with relief not the least embarrassed at Rafe
standing next to her while she peed, Tessa got the giggles
when she could not stop. By the time she had emptied her
bladder, she felt as if she had been sitting on the toilet for
five minutes. When she had finished, Rafe wiped her clean,
pulling her pants back up, carrying her to the sink they both
washed their hands, just as Lucien and Gabe came back
into the room.

How are you feeling Tessa baby? Gabe asked when
he spotted her.
Much better, Tessa said with a smile to Rafe. He
returned her smile with a wink as he scooped her up into
his arms again. Gabe leaned down placing a kiss against
her lips, then making way for Lucien to do the same.
Tessa I have arranged for a doctor to meet us at
home to tend your wounds. Do you think you can wait that
long honey? Lucien asked.
As long as I have my men with me, I could probably
wait until tomorrow, she said with a sigh, resting her head
against Rafe's shoulder.
Well I can tell you now, hon, you will not be waiting
till tomorrow. The doctor will beat us to our place and will
tend you as soon as we get you home. So let's head off, he
said with a smile. Seeing Tessa safe and secure in Rafe's
arms filled him with relief and contentment. Knowing she
was safe once more and that she wasn't too badly hurt but
still put Rafe's needs before her own filled him with pride.
An Alpha could not ask for a better mate.

Chapter Nine
Lucien, Rafe and Gabe cuddled up with her every
night for a whole week in the master bed. Not attempting to
make love to her. They'd advised her they did not want to
risk tearing her stitches and because they were such
demanding dominant lovers they had decided there would
be no love making until after her stitches were out.
Tessa was beside herself. She was so horny if one of
her men touched her she thought she would explode
instantly. The morning her stitches were to be taken out,
Tessa made sure she was up showered and dressed early.
Ready for when the doctor arrived.
He arrived just as they finished breakfast. Tessa led
the doctor to her room pulling her track pants up to her
knee so he could remove the stitches from her ankle. Then
he removed them from her arm. The doctor advised some
vitamin E cream would help her with her dry skin on the
sight of her wounds. Thanking him as he left she shut the
bedroom door after him. She was going to have some fun.
Her plans included her three husbands. She set about
preparing her surprise.
Lucien heard Damian show the doctor to the door,
thanking him for his time and care of Tessa. When Tessa
did not come back down the stairs, he started worrying
about their mate.
